Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2018
- So the Dashboard started flashing and the AC cutting off and on in my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. The check engine eventually came on and coded U1411.
Watch me replace the ignition starter switch that fixes the problem!
I would really appreciate your smashing that "Applaud" button and leaving a little something if this video helped you. Thanks!

I replaced this part using your video as a tutorial. Did it about a year ago and no issues since! My mechanic told me I needed a new shift control module….guess the professionals aren’t always right. Thank you so much sir!
You're welcome and no they aren't!
In my experience the job will be done easily if you remove first the blend door actuator located behind the ignition key assembly. Is an easy task and make the removal of the key assembly much more simple. Nice video. Thanks
Thanks much!
Appreciate the video. Just completed the replacement in about 40 minutes. No issues except the removal and reinstalling the mechanism. Took a few minutes but all is well.
Cool glad to hear!
Thank you for making this video. I appreciate that you specify the Torque bit size. I had to hunt one down. You save me a lot of time.
You’re welcome Joshua! Glad it helped!
thanks for the video! just finished up replacing my ladies jeeps ignition switch and grabbing me some blue moons to celebrate-
Hey you're welcome! Have a couple for me!
Thank you for your time and detailed instructions. I was able to replace the ignition switch on my 2008 Jeep Liberty.

Thanks for video, wish you had not lost some of the video, but good explanation
Yeah I couldn't believe it. I don't know what happened. Anyway I'm glad it helped!
Thanks for the video. I had flashing lights on my 2006 Jeep. Everything on the dash would flash like a UFO was flying around. Then all the lights on the dash would go out including my headlights and tail lights. Couldn't tell how fast I was going so put on my GPS. They would finally come back on sometimes from hitting a bump. Thought it was my computer but maybe it's the switch.
It's relatively cheap and easy. Might be a good place to start. Thanks for the comments!
Did it end up being the ignition switch?
@@akaredcrossbow No. It stop a while ago and hasn't come back. Very strange. I did replace several sensors but not sure if that helped. Replace the intake temo sensor, MAP sensor, coolant sensor, TPS, not sure if that was all of them.
@@1thinkhealthy Thank you for your reply!
@@1thinkhealthy any updates? Currently having that same issue… replaced the bcm checked ground wires and still causes it. It really goes off after i hit a bump or something. My next bet is to try the ign switch and go from there
SOLVED: Was heated Seat Control Module under seat.
My Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.0 CRD (WK).
My Symptoms: Dash gauges dying and coming back when driving along with dash lights, check engine light, airbag light etc and associated 'bong' sound. Also, headlights flickering and radio nav screen going on and off. Heated seats buttons sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Was also getting various service messages on the dash display.
My Solution: Removed plug from heated seat module module and found contacts partially corroded. Sprayed with electrical contact cleaner. Replaced plug. Issue 100% solved instantly and hasn't returned.
Had also suspected either ignition switch or clock-spring on steering wheel. People with similar electrical issues should check their various modules / fuses / wiring in high traffic or exposed areas for poor electrical contacts or disconnected grounds.
Seems like all the modules are interconnected and a failure or bad connection in one affects other apparently unrelated symptoms.
I thought I had an expensive / major issue but a little poking around fixed it quickly.
On a separate note my parking sensors were also not working and saying 'service park assist'. Sprayed each sensor closely and liberally with WD40 to drive out moisture. Now working 100% !

i had the red blinking light in the top right corner come on today after i turned my car off and locked it. I’ve also had a check engine light come on and off for a couple days at a time for about a month now and also have an aftermarket stereo that has been on and off for about a week. would this be the same thing?

Thanks for the video! I have a 2006 Grand Cherokee that started having the same issues. Finally fed up with it and decided to fix it. I noticed your Jeep had 178k miles at the time of the video, mine is at 177k now. Guess those switches have a predictable life span!

I am having the same issue with my 2006 jeep Cherokee. I’ve been to an electrician and now it’s at a mechanic shop, they are telling me they can’t replace or tighten up the loose ignition switch. They are saying to take it to an electrician. The electrician said to get the ignition switch fixed or replaced. You can see in my car that where the key goes the switch looks loose and is sticking out like it needs to be snapped back in . We’re so frustrated and don’t know what to do or where to take it. Any ideas ???
@@OurSimpleAdventures hi do you have an email address? I’m having the same problem with my 2006 jeep Cherokee . I’ve been to an electrician and a mechanic. Maybe you could advise us on what to do . The electrician sayid my ignition switch where the key goes is loose . You can clearly see the switch is not flush and is sticking out some like it’s not in all the way. The mechanic is saying I need an electrician… I’m very frustrated and can’t afford to buy a whole new car .
@@jenniferkrawchuck2733 Hi Jennifer! I am not any kind of master mechanic. I'm just a guy that likes to work on my own cars. I would say maybe do the same fix I did if your dash is doing the same things? Thanks for the question and let us know how it goes!
my 2006 jeep grand cherokee has 186K miles and started doing this a few months ago. now i know how to fix this!
My '05 had a third screw above the switch, under the gauge cluster bezel.

Yeah there is actually a recall on that ignition switch. You might be able to get it replaced for free. I'm in Phoenix btw..

I had this exact issue with my Jeep Commander; dashboard flashing and check engine U1411. Changed the ignition switch and it has solved the problem, woo! Thanks again!
Glad to hear it helped! Thank you for your channel. I'll bet it is helping people. I have subscribed. :-)
Got my recall letter took it in and it has a new switch. I dont like this new switch as it is a push one. Due to the old ones moving to different positions with just light taps ig this is their way of fixing things.
Hi Chewy, Do you mean a push button switch like that in newer vehicles? Does it require a FOB? Thanks for the comment!
I posted a video fix it for this problem myself on UA-cam its called "code u1403 and u1411 warning lights and dash instruments losing power"
Interesting. Thanks Josh!
Thanks for the video I just changed the switch on my 06 commander and it Had the recall done In 2016. Started and ran fine yesterday with no problems went to the store this morning about 5 miles away when I got to my driveway I stoped to put it in reverse and it quit just like I turned the key off. Started back up with no codes Any ideas on what I should look for? Thank you

My dash is flashing but not the same kind of flashing as you mention. Whereas your lights of warnings flash mine are just the light that illuminates the cluster and radio. Has anyone experienced this kind of flashing? What ended up being the cause or repair?

My signals are not working could it be the problem ?
I doubt it. It could possibly just be a bulb.
I'm looking this video just ordered the part... mine has 177k miles
Let us know how it goes!
There is a three screw 2 on the front 1 on the top actresses After you take off your dashboard So actually you Break the starter switch anyway so next time you have to use your bighead diagnostic and carefully Abu Arabbbb ok
I have no idea what you said but thanks for the comment!
2005 JGC recalled ignition replaced in 2016. I’m having similar prob, I lose all dash lights, headlamps, brake lights, blinkers and air condition. Have to jiggle key or push the key while driving to get everything to come back on.
I’m actually on my way to Jeep dealership to pick it up after them finding nothing wrong and the lights never turned off for them. $100 for nothing.
Ok so they did the recall???
I found out about the recall after I did this video. It's a pretty ease fix. Please let us know what you do!
Picked up the truck last night, they told me they found nothing wrong with the ignition or battery.
My husband said he’s just gonna replace the ignition himself and I guess we’ll see what happens after that. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you for answering back.
I’m sorry, yes, this issue started after ignition was replaced per the recall.
You're welcome. I did speak with someone else that had the same issue after the recall was done. If you haven't already, give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more! Good Luck!
I think this is happening to my 2005 Jeep, we replaced the ignition as per the recall and it does the exact same thing. Either all the lights in the dash go on or the whole dash goes black and none of the needles move, sometimes the all come on and then stay off except the check engine light. The AC also seems to have a mind of its own and works when it feels like it. I saw someone else commented about theirs not working after it rains, and this has also definitely seemed to be a pattern for us. Should we re-replace the ignition switch????? It definitely seems all connected.
Having the same problem on my 06 Jeep Commander. My recall was done in 2015. I'm hoping it's only a bad connection. Something not flush in place as it should be. I'll be looking at it today. But haven't bought a replacement part.
Good luck Devon! Thankfully it is relatively inexpensive and fairly easy to replace. Thanks for the comment. Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more! Thanks again!
Have you fixed it and so how?
I have not fixed it. Still have the commander. Have been rocking a cherokee in the mean time. Biting the bullet soon and going for it. UPDATE is: My PCM actually was shorted and literally caught fire (briefly) and took out multiple eeprom chips and capacitors. I hear impossible stories of vin flashing 4 plug PCMs. My only logical option is to desauter all healthy memory chips and move them to a matching make/model/engine type pcm. (I bought several in case I mess up!) hopefully after some more practice and research of the chips, I’ll be ready to revive this beauty with a new appreciation for her glorious style. Thinking of some cool names... zombie? Phoenix? Taking name apps... lol I MISS MY COMMANDER
Did it fix your dash lights flashing issue?
Yes absolutely.
I am currently working on a '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo for a friend. Apart from the 4 inches of water that was on his front driver's side floorboard due to a rainstorm about 2 weeks ago. His entire dash loses power any time it rains so I pulled the dash apart to check electrical connections. Along with finding A LOT of bad splices, there are (so far from my count) 17 T-taps that are very poorly insulated and not even remotely water resistant... So I guess my question is, without using 5 gallons of gas and a road flare, what is the best way to go about getting rid of this headache?!?!?!?
Haha! Yeah the WK and it's electrics aren't the best. Lol
Hello thank you for the video I have a 07 Jeep commander and it does same exact problem with the dashboard however mine does it when it rains or theirs condense humidity in the air which it don’t allow my signal lights not radio to work after it rains? Do you know what can be the problem this been going on for 3 months and sadly I’m missing school when it rains bc of this..
Hi RJ G, You're welcome and I'm glad it helped. Have you noticed that the dash gets wet or the floor is damp?
If not I would go ahead and replace the ignition switch like I did.
Our Simple Adventures yes it use to get extremely damped however i ceiled the sun roof bc I read that it can let water in through drainage however after ceiling that my problem still occur but it seems worse bc my truck signal lights eventually don’t work and my truck shuts down as soon as any drop hits my Jeep
@@rjg9708 Wow yeah, you need to find out where the moisture is getting in. Let us know! If you haven't already, give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
Mine was doing the same thing, I used the common Chrysler code(using the sunroof buttons) to reset the sunroof, apparently it can get a bit off track and slowly start to droop
I’m back 4 years later. At the time the new ignition switch helped. Till this past week I replaced it once again bc the dash lights started going off again. However, this time around I have no idea what it is? Maybe battery? It seems like my jeep of 7 years finally telling me that it’s time to get a new car sadly.
Hey man appreciate the video… one question the actual key ignition cylinder was not replaced right ? Just the ignition switch ?
That's right nacho. I hope it helped!
@@OurSimpleAdventures will be trying it soon, thanks for the reply.
@@nachoarroyo5304 You're welcome!
What's the cost in parts does key work for everything, & do you have to have key flashed
It’s the electronic part of the ignition switch not where you put the key in.
Hello, thanks for the vid, it will help with replacing mine. Do you have to do any reprogramming with the key? I only have one key for now and nervous about replacing this and having another issue with programming.
Please disregard. I just realized that you’re replacing the electrical part and not the key cylinder.
No problem Drew Finch. Good question. Please let us know how it goes and give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more! Thanks again and let us know!
We replaced ours, now the anti left light is blinking and turns the car off after we start?
Have it scanned... Thanks and let us know what you do!
Any chance you had an airbag light on because of this as well?
Hi JMC5, I would say if you have the other symptoms also then definitely. If it's just the airbag light then probably not but see if you're getting that code. Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more videos as it seems something is going wrong monthly now Lol.
Does this switch affect the tail lights. I’ve got the same dash lights going berserk but I’ve also lost all tail light function.
Hi Brandon, I don't think it would have anything to do with it. A fuse maybe. After you do the ignition switch let us know. Thanks for the question. Please Subscribe & Hit that Notification Bell as there will be more!
Did you ever fix this ? I have the same problem. Dashlights, Ac, headlights. I'll bang on dash and it works again.
I had a shop look at it and they replaced the PCM and that did nothing.
Is there any way to test the switch to know if it's bad? Having similar problems but my ignition switch shows it was replaced during the recall before I bought it.
Hi Sara, I'm sure there is but I don't know how. If it was me, I'd just replace it as they are relatively cheap especially compared to a mechanic hooking it up to diagnostics. Thanks for the question! Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
@@OurSimpleAdventures it didn't solve my problem but thank you so much for the video showing me how to do it. I really appreciate guys like you doing this so I can learn to do things on my own and save money.

Hey there! I am having a similar issue with my 2008 Jeep Commander. The only thing that doesn’t happen is the dash flashing. I can go out and start it up but if I go to the store and get back in, it won’t start back up. I have to try for quite a while. It will try to start and basically sputter but never turn over. I was wondering if you could give me some insight to this issue? If I order the ignition part will I have to have a new key programmed? It is a keyless entry remote.
Thanks for the question. It doesn't really sound like the switch to me. It kind of sounds like the starter solenoid. Take it to an Autozone or Pep Boys and have them test it. Let us know what you find out. Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!

Was curious if you found the solution? My 06 GC has the same issue after running errands and has gotten worse over time and not sure where to start. Thank you in advance!
So this would be the issue also if you have a remote started because what you saying happens to me. Most of the time i use my remote starter. Keep it mind it never did it when i first put it on. Now at time i use it and will flash lights, turn my AC off and engine light will go on for a few days then it will go away in her own.. with the u1411 code. Please advice
Hi Juan, Can you disconnect the remote easily to test? It definitely sounds like the ignition switch though. Thanks for the question. Let us know what you do. Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more! Thanks again!
@@OurSimpleAdventures well it never did it when i use just the key. started doing it with the remote started. But its giving me the same code. And this the only video that is doing the same thing as my car.
Ok understood. It sounds like the exact same thing so I would replace the ignition switch as in the video. Let us know what you do! In the mean time Give us a Follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
hello thank you for your video very good reference, I have a year 2006 and it has the same fault with the lights additionally it does not turn on the lights, neither the crossover, the cornet does not sound and it does not let me scan since it does not access the pcm, it could be the same fault or may be from another source thank you if you can help me greetings.
Hi Jesus,
I would say it's very possible to be the ignition switch. Give it a try as it is relatively inexpensive. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for the question. Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more! Thanks again!
I FIXED MINE !!!! had the exact same problem on my 05 Grand Cherokee however, it wasn't a switch, the ecu, the fuse box, the alternator, the ground wires, or the wiring harness. or anything that has been mentioned, my electrician mechanic said the codes that he got were very common and are not specific to any malfunctions, they're general codes and could mean anything is malfunctioning, I suspected it was the abs because the problem would sometimes show up when I hit a pothole but that wasn't either.
SO WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM???
WELL HERE IT GOES.
The right front caliper wasn't working properly and that led to one of the brake pads to wear out completely while the other was barely touched, I didn't get any warning light telling me about this instead that code was triggered which in turn triggered the flashing dash and gages, so the electrician said it's very important no to neglect any aspect of the maintenance of this vehicles, he said after a couple of weeks of repairs the problem would go away by itself and IT DID,
Hey Thanks for the info Pedro!! Glad you got it figured out! Give us a follow and Subscribe if you haven't already!
Its literally impossible that your frozen caliper piston (or any brake problem) caused a service engine light or the vehicle to stall or not start
Where would that third screw be? I believe I have a third ('05), danged switch simply will not come out. I believe this ignition switch is the cause of its not starting on occasion.
Hi Kyle, It definitely could be the cause. Did you get it to move at all? Did you try prying it out of the holes with a screw driver? Thanks for the question!
@@OurSimpleAdventures Yep, I can get it to move, but not inward towards the dah - kind of displaces to the side. I'm not real sure - there seems to be a small arm, anchored to the structural support for the dashboard. that is somehow involved. As you know, visuals in that tight space are nigh impossible :) Only 95 d here today, maybe will give it another go. Thanks for the video!
@@kylecallahan8971 you're welcome man. It does take a little time and patience to wiggle and fenagle it out. You can do it. Let us know how it goes!

Part cost?
I don't remember $20 give or take?? Thanks for the question.
20$ amazon
You needed light to dark to see
Yep thanks Jim.
I have the same problem but stereo screen flashes too sometimes
Thanks for the comment. Are you going to replace the switch?
Thanks for the reply, and yes I want to change the switch, do you order the switch and key some where? Do you program the new key?
You would only be replacing the black plastic electrical switch not the metal part where you insert the key so it's the same key. I believe I ordered it from Rockauto.com.
Thanks man I appreciate I’ll try that
A.B's,wkJEEP Entertainment cool let us know how it goes!
My 2005 jeep cherokee was fine til I went to the store and attempt to crank my car but when I did that it sounded like it didn't wanna crank up I turned my car back off and it cranked right up once I got about a mile to my friends house I parked it until I was ready to go once I got back in my car to crank it it wouldn't even turn over or anything just the one click noise I replaced my starter so that wasn't the issue I got rid of the corrosion on the battery I even switched out my battery and it still wouldn't turn over I don't think its my alternator or battery what could be the issue all my lights come on with no issues is it The ignition switch
Hi Brittany, Does your dash flash occasionally?
@@OurSimpleAdventures No it's not flashing at all it's just comes on normal when I turn my car on
